Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. Delivery of a comprehensive geodatabase concerned with all lands in the Amador-El Dorado Unit Focal Area at risk to wildfire, and neighboring watersheds. This geodatabase, should be compiled using globally available data, including but not limited to: publicly available databases, non-classified structures, recreation areas, comprehensive biodiversity elements, aboveground carbon, and riparian areas. The Contractor shall fully lead and own the process of the geodatabase production and delivery, including the project management, data analytics processes, and customization requests. 2. The geodatabase will be made available to CAL FIRE, to be shared with designated collaborators, and eventually the public, if desired. 3. Should CAL FIRE desire the customization and integration of, but not limited to the following: fuelscape conditions, landscape segmentation (management unit customization to align with Potential Operational Delineations (PODs), existing CEQA/NEPA boundaries, wilderness boundaries, recent and planned treatment areas, etc.), custom landscape features to be used in analytics (High Valued Resources and Assets, or equivalent), ecological effects of treatment leveraging departure or like models, additional hazard modeling (e.g. drought), then the contractor will be able to accommodate such customizations in a timely manner. It is CAL FIRE’s expectation that the comprehensive geodatabase using globally available data and hazard modeling will be delivered within two months of a signed contract between CAL FIRE and the contractor. Furthermore, it is the expectation that once the contractor receives the direction and additional data needed to produce a customized geodatabase, then that deliverable will be available within two months of data receipt. 4. All data and data derivatives (e.g.: LiDAR derivatives, burn probability and intensity outputs, values database with economic variables) will be made to CAL FIRE, to be shared with designated collaborators, and eventually the public, if desired. 5. Packaged analytics-as-a-service shall be delivered in a comprehensive geodatabase. Should contractors, who are qualified to deliver on the work outlined in this bid, have additional services or products readily at their disposal to ease and make more impactful such databases, they are encouraged by CAL FIRE to highlight such capabilities. CAL FIRE is interested in the ability to run real-time scenarios optimized for given resource constraints (budget / project size / number of projects), weigh tradeoffs between potential projects, build consensus quicker, and have instant access to metrics and attributes which will help drive towards meaningful implementation. 6. Contractor is expected to provide customer support and service to CAL FIRE and partners to best leverage the geodatabase delivery to drive landscape scale prioritizations down to the implementation and project-ready level. Contractor is expected to assign specific client support and engagement staff to be actively engaged and available for support via chat, email and phone during normal business hours. 7. Contractor’s support and engagement staff should be versed in the geodatabase components, be able to assist CAL FIRE in explaining the value to partner agencies and collaborators and be available for tutorials and training.
